Safety Information

Serious injuries may result from another accident. Replace the product following an accident. Have the damaged product inspected (even if it has fallen onto the ground). Regularly check all important parts for damage. Ensure that all mechanical components work properly. Never lubricate or oil parts of the product. Properly dispose of the damaged product.
- Risk of burns from hot components: Components of the product can become hot in direct sunlight. Children’s skin is sensitive and may be harmed as a result. Protect the product against intensive direct sunlight when not in use.
- Risk of crushing from moving backrest: When straightening the backrest, fingers may be crushed between the backrest and seat cushions. Keep fingers out.
- Risk of injury if installed incorrectly: If the product is installed or used other than as described in the user guide, serious or even fatal injuries may result. Never secure the child seat with a 2-point seat belt. Only use it on a car seat facing or against the direction of travel. Note and follow the instructions in the vehicle handbook.
- Risk of injury from front airbag: Airbags are designed to protect adults. If the child seat is too close to the front airbag, slight or serious injuries can arise. If the child seat is secured on the passenger seat, slide the passenger seat backwards. If the child seat is secured on the second or third row of seats, slide the corresponding front seat forwards. Note and follow the instructions in the vehicle handbook.

- If this is prohibited, select a different car seat.
- Risk of injury due to over-long belt lock: The position of the belt lock affects the protective function of the child seat. Select a different car seat if the seat belt lock is in or in front of the dark-green belt guide. If in doubt, contact your retailer.
